     It is hard to see why either of them is the measure of any
     meaning. Man in the course of heavy universal history, would
     likely be a flash in the pan, and God as a measure, has no
     foundation.  At best, man and God would both be some minor
     fragment of some "OTHER" measure ...and at worst a nothing.

     how what I've said might be otherwise!
